Wildfires

Oregon has experienced devastating wildfires across the state in recent years. Learn about wildfire risk in your area and how to be prepared.

It is everyone's responsibility to help prevent human-caused wildfires. Use caution with campfires, when using equipment that may cause sparks in dry areas, or when burning yard debris. Only conduct these activities when weather and fire conditions allow. Never leave a burn pile or campfire unattended and always put the fire completely out before leaving. Residents should contact their local fire department before conducting any burning as restrictions vary among local fire districts.
